Fluffy and Moist Sponge Cake
I experimented with various ratios of the dry ingredients and finally came up with this sponge cake.
If you raise the temperature of the egg mixture too high before you whip it, you will end up with a lot of air bubbles and the batter will be lumpy. So cool it down if it's too hot. If you have a thermometer, check the temperature of the butter before you add it to the batter. This process has an impact on the shape of the cake when it's baked (the dome on top falls depending on the temperature of the batter). Recipe by Shi-chan

- 1
[Preparation] Line a cake mold with parchment paper. (Not greased with butter)
- 2
Combine the eggs, egg yolk and granulated sugar in a bowl. Combine the butter and vegetable oil in a small bowl, and combine the cake flour and corn starch in a different bowl.
- 3
Mix the eggs and granulated sugar lightly with a whisk and heat to body temperature in a double boiler.
- 4
Change to a hand mixer, and whip at the highest speed until the mixture becomes whitish and forms a thick ribbon when the hand mixer is lifted. Some of the batter should remain within the whisk when lifted.
- 5
Once the mixture has reached the consistency of Step 4, stir slowly at low speed for about 4 minutes. This is just to break big air bubbles, so don't stir too much.
- 6
Sift in the dry ingredients into Step 5 and fold in gently with a rubber spatula until the mixture is no longer floury. (About 30 times.)
- 7
Heat up the butter and vegetable oil to 50 ℃ while mixing the flour.
- 8
Add a scoop of the mixed batter from the Step 6 into the oil mixture from Step 7 and mix well with the whisk. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 170℃.
- 9
Pour the mixture from Step 8 into the rest of the batter from Step 6. Change to a rubber spatula and mix from the bottom until the batter becomes shiny.
- 10
When mixed, pour the batter into the mold, and tap it on the counter once to remove air.
- 11
Bake for about 25 minutes at 170℃. (For a 18 cm mold, bake for 30~35 minutes.) This photo shows how the cake looks while baking. It smells really nice.
- 12
When it's baked, drop it from a height of 30 cm once, and place upside down on a cake rack that is lined with parchment paper and let it cool.
- 13
When it's completely cooled, it's done. If you don't use it straight a way, wrap with cling film over the parchment paper and transfer to the fridge.
- 14
This is how it looks when cut. You can bake a fine textured sponge cake that is moist and fluffy.

Fluffy and Moist Chocolate Sponge Cake Fluffy and Moist Chocolate Sponge Cake
I arranged my fluffy and soft plain sponge cake to make this chocolate sponge. I added honey and starch syrup, and adjusted the amount of fat so as to make a fluffy and moist, but not dry sponge cake.You have to beat the eggs well, but do not beat too much. After that, the texture must be made fine with a hand mixer at a lower-speed. Fold in the mixture using a spatula with a cutting motion and rotate your bowl against the direction of the spatula. Do not over-mix but make sure the cocoa liquid is combined evenly. After mixing, the volume of the batter may drop, but do not worry. When it bakes, it will rise. Recipe by Lesser Panda -

Moist & Fluffy Swiss Roll Sponge Cake Moist & Fluffy Swiss Roll Sponge Cake
I looked up a lot of recipes and I tried different quantities. In the end, this is the "perfect" recipe that I arrived at. My sponge cakes have never failed ever since!-By using a hand whisk, not a plastic spatula, the flour and egg mixture will mix nice and evenly. Do not mix vigorously. Incorporate as much air as possible by making use of the wires of the whisk to whip through the mixture.-When you cool the sponge cake, wrap tightly with cling film. When you peel off the film the brown skin of the sponge will stick to the cling film and you'll be able to give it a nice golden brown color to both sides of the cake. If you wrap with cling film after it's completely cooled, the film shouldn't stick anymore, so do this before it cools completely. For one 28 x 28 cm [11.0 x 11.0 in] baking sheet.
